Season of Shadows Blog

Edit 7/28/08: All of the spiritually uplifting and self-help content I mention in this post has been moved to my new site. It truly has begun- my very first Season of Shadows blog entry! I thought this first post would be a great place to discuss how important and valuable your interaction is to me. This is also a great time to delve a little more into my inspiration, as it pertains to the subject matter I will be writing about.

First of all, I respect each of you and your opinions. I appreciate any amount of time you spend perusing this site. If you are going to be spending some of that valuable time reading my blog entries- I feel it’s only fair that I be as open and honest with you, in my writing, as possible. I never want my posts to feel like they’re coming from some guy hiding behind a curtain (think The Wizard of Oz), spouting my words and broadcasting an image, without giving you a frame of reference for viewing my work and the person who penned it. At certain times you will find my posts relating personal paranormal experiences and at other times I will be discussing many types of phenomenon and metaphysical topics in general. To really get into the thick of these discussions requires a  good degree of openness about the subject matter and about myself. Being open takes away much of the mystery- which in this case is a good thing. I prefer to let my creations throughout other areas of this site inspire mystery and spookiness. 

I feel right at home in broadcasting a blog across the internet which covers this type of subject matter- probably because I have always enjoyed researching and talking with others about the supernatural. Over the years I have had hundreds, if not thousands of deep conversations with friends and family about ghosts, reincarnation, the meaning of life, god, astral projection, dreams, lucid dreams, remote viewing, near death experiences and on and on. I don’t think there has been a meaningful conversation (in this vein) to date, that I have not expanded from in some way, nor emerged from without gaining a different understanding or perspective. This is what happens when we bring this information into the open. Talking about this subject matter is like breathing to me- it’s so natural. In fact, Halloween and the supernatural have always been so tightly interwoven my entire life, that I could not see a way in which to present one, on this site, without presenting the other. It’s this bilateral mix of celebration and exploration that makes them so fascinating. It also seems natural that through the celebrating of one aspect, we are encouraged to explore the other. Exploration leads to expansion, and I am all for that.

Your participation, whether through reading, commenting, emailing or a combination of all of these, as long as you are finding value in my work, helps bring to fruition the intentions I set forth for this site and more specifically for the Season of Shadows Blog. If you have read my Mission statement then you know what I’m referring to. I’m pretty passionate about the expansion of individual and mass consciousness- specifically in the metaphysical and spiritual areas of life. When I say spiritual I am not referring to religion. I am speaking of an understanding of an energy that flows through each of us and through this entire Universe. It is within this energy that all things occur. It’s through a pursuing of how this energy works and how it flows that we can begin to understand, or at least try to understand paranormal events and even those events that aren’t so paranormal. 

Now this is not to imply that I take myself far too seriously. I have a blast when I’m writing and creating things to add to Season of Shadows! That’s why I have filled other sections of the site with so much creative writing. Here in the blog, you will find that I make updates two to three times per week. I prefer to create posts that are as meaningful as possible- much of my time is spent editing or rewriting entries until I feel they are of the highest quality.

So, what led me to create a blog like this? My passion for the subject matter, the total sum of my experiences- which have shown me there is something huge at work here (within the Universe), the desire to help others expand, and the need for answers so I can continue expanding. It’s through my questions, experiences, research, and your participation with me that I hope to continue growing and to pass on anything that may inform, or spur on something further within you.

I don’t believe there are any coincidences in our existence- that’s not to say there is an inescapable destiny looming over each of our heads. We definitely have free will, yet it’s within that free will that some of the most interesting synchronicities can occur.  There is always that little nudge or calling that each of us will feel from time to time. You just have to listen for it. It’s my hope that you find subject matter, within my posts, that resonates with you because of those same synchronicities.

Thank you for taking the time to take this journey with me.
